Pancakes with fried peaches and blueberry sauce

On the weekend I made pancakes. From a packet! We still have pancake mix leftover from our holiday in January. So no recipe. Just some fruity pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.

We had run out of milk. I used some apple juice instead. I sliced a peach and pan fried the slices in butter. They took a while to soften and brown. Long enough to chat to a friend on the phone and chase Sylvia around the kitchen. We had leftover blueberry syrup made with frozen blueberries, maple syrup and orange juice. I poured it over the peaches. Lovely! Rather gourmet, actually! With very little effort.

We had savoury pancakes for dinner tonight but I will have to write about it later - stay tuned....

I love the idea of making pancakes with juice instead of milk. I'll have to keep that in mind. I finally made chickpea pancakes last week (post to come, eventually!) so I think my pancake bases are covered for a while...if I'd thought ahead a bit more I could have had them today and slotted into the Shrove Tuesday tradition!

thanks Kari - we also tried some apple juice in porridge which worked well - I often miss shrove tuesday but had a few chats about it coming up this year and so I think I have had pancakes on the brain :-)

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
